Hello, My Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 isn't getting detected by the BIOS. I am having no idea why that is happening, but I am sure I plugged in The SATA and SATA power connectors properly.

Also, I have another HDD which is an   Seagate Surveillance drive  , Which is getting Detected and working good. The 7200.11 is unused from past 7 years. If anyone has a solution for this thing, Please reply.

Did you change the SATA cable and port? Did you try changing the SATA power cable? Try the disk in a different pc?

Got any m.2 nvme SSD plugged in? Some motherboard disable certain SATA ports if a specified m.2 slot is populated.

These are really good advises...
...at least:
If non of them helped you and the HDD still isn't detected on any slot with any cable or on other systems and you have "better not to loose"-data on the drive, you can try to catch the same model of drive (maybe used) and replace the PCB of your drive.
If its a hdd-failure and the entire hdd isn't detected by the BIOS its mostly a broken circuit board.

This is very risky and unlikely to help. The controller board on each drive tracks failed sectors and other drive-specific information that needs to be present for it to work correctly. Swapping PCBs doesn't bring this information along and can make professional recovery even harder.

It's possible the drive is just dead.

No, My Motherboard does not have any M.2 NVME slots so Its unlikely to that happen.

You're right - I'm very sorry to not warn about the risks of this step. You should also be able to fetch the information about the sectors-health to the PCB-Chip by just do a RO-HDD-test.
I'm very confirm with your arguments, but if he don't want to do a professional recovery (AND ONLY THEN), it could be a possible solution to just copy some needed files.
Sorry again for my unspecific post and I'm very confirm with your criticism.
